A sculptural cocoon-style pendant light, dating to the 1960s–70s, characterised by its softly faceted spherical form and organic surface texture.
The shade is formed from a sprayed polymer resin over an internal frame, creating a lightweight yet substantial globe. Subtle vertical faceting gives the otherwise rounded form a gentle rhythm, while the natural, web-like fibres embedded within the surface lend depth and visual interest when illuminated. The material diffuses light beautifully, producing a warm, ambient glow that enhances its sculptural presence.
Suspended from a simple cord with a ceiling rose, the overall composition is restrained and balanced, allowing the shade’s texture and form to take centre stage.
This piece sits firmly within the tradition of Italian cocoon lighting...
